rHE PILOTS STORY.

My name is Andy Mitchell, 1 was pilot O. the
Belle,
A little steamer runnin in the Mississippi
tide.
An want to bet the parson that the tale I'm
goin' ter tell,
For the thing he calls religion throws his
preachin in the shade.
Cause of doin' unto others ez yed hev them do
ter you
Is the Kind o. foolish doctrine that the Savior
KEN ter teach,
Brown, the first mate learned the lesson afore
he'd seed a Jew,
Though he's never bin to meetin' fer ter hear
parson preach.
1t was one dark night in winter, we was runnin'
up the stream,
was standin' in the wheel-house an a lookin'
out ahead,
When felt the boat trenholm, an heerd the
rush o. steam.
While the river in minute seemed q blazin'
in its bed.
Wall, / knowed, boys, in a minute what had
happened jest us well
Ez eff I'd bin sittin on ther boiler when it
bust,
An my mind was paintin' pictures O. the par
sons birthstone hell
But the lire kim creepin' closer, and thought
ter time ter dust,
To the guard quick skedaddled an saw thar
Mr.. Brown
WI two leetle gals clingin' an a sobbin' on
his breast,
An heerd him say, Don't worry. for We amt
a goin to drown;
God Jest sent me here ter save ye, fer he knew
I'd do my best"
was takin' care O. Andy an I didn't wait to
hear
How the fust mate meant ter save 'em. but
then save en- boys, he did,
Though the mystery, ez l call CT, never came
out very clear;
But Their gals, kind o reckon, did exact ez
they were bid.
Is Brown llvin'? No, not 'zactly. When we found
him ct the dawn
He were lynn wi his face hid in the rivers
marshy sedge,
An the children, little angels, wi their faces
white and wan,
Were a restin just above him on the rivers
grassy edge.
How d they come thar? Wall ter guess ct let me
sum the case up thus:
Brown took them little children in his arms
an swan ashore,
Laid EN- on the bank above him, an then real
led the cuss
Tibet he'd used up all his mussle an he hedn't
got no more.
Not enough to climb up arter an between thu
seeds and sand
Arms an legs became eutangled an he som
how lost his breath,
Then the waters closed about him ez he lay thai
cluS TO land,
And he heerd the tranquil harpstrings, an he
felt the touch o. Death
Oh, the children! Why, Lord bless We, they kin
round again all right.
An thar's one o them that's married, an the
others teachin' school.
Ez fer Brown, he's soundly sleepin' meath
heap o marble white,
Lost his life fer tibet durn nonsense parsol

THE DISCOVERY OF CoFFEE.-Toward
the middle of the fifteenth century poor
Arab was travelling through Abyssinia,
and finding himself very weak and weary
from fatigue, he stopped near a grove.
Then, being in want of fuel to cook his
rice, he cut down tree covered with dead
berries. The meal being cooked and eaten
the traveller discovered that the half
burned berries were very fragrant. He
collected a number of these, and ON crush
ing them with stone he found their
aroma increased to great extent While
wondering at this he accidentally let fall
the substance in can which contained a
small supply of water. Lo, what mira
Gle! The almost putrid liquid was in
stantly purified. He brought it to his
lips; the taste was agreeable, and in few
moments after the traveller had so far re-
covered his strength and energy as to be
able to resume his journey. The lucky
Arab gathered as many of the berries as
he could carry, and having arrived at Ar
den, in Arabia, he informed the Multi of
his discovery. The worthy divine was an
inveterate opium-smoker, who had been
suffering for years from the influence of
the poisonous drug He tried an infusion
of the berries, and was so delighted with
the recovery of his own vigor that in graf
itude to the tree he called it cabnah, which
in Arabic means force" And this is the
way coffee was discovered that is so then
say."

CoNvIcTs IN IRON CAGEs.-Five hun
dred of the worst criminals in France have
just left their country for, it is to be hoped,
their country's good. They were shipped
off on board the Orne at Toulon for the
penal colony of Cayenne. Among them
were the rascal Delmasure, who broke open
a tomb in Montmartre; Sicard fratri-
eide; a Count who had got into trouble,
and host of persons who had made des-
perate attempts 10 rob and murder, among
them being several Arabs from Algeria.
Sieard, the fratricide, became obstreperous
during the march to the ship and kicked a
gendarme. He was seized Immediately
and put in chains, but even then made a
dash to get overheard, in which attempt he
was frustrated. The convicts were shut up
in iron cages placed on the vessel. Over
them marines armed with loaded muskets
kept strict watch during the voyage, and
at the slightest sign of disorder the crimi-
nails were played upon by the fire pumps,
which threw powerful jets of water upon
them.-London Telegraph.

What a Cent Can Do.

1t is almost impossible to attach any
Importance to cent, but at the same time
1t is very important coin at times, saws
an exchange. 1t will take circular to
California, and it will make you madden
that halter and March hare combined
when you go to pay fare on horse-car
and Ind that you have but four cents and
$40 bill. One cent is very small, but
when 1t is added to the rate of interest YOU
receive on stock it possesses a stern,
magnificent grandeur that carries YOU
away like strain of music. The penny,
1t seems, was made to put on church
plates, and although man may say it
amounts to nothing, he will strike matches
and lift mats and crawl about in the straw
In horse car to find the one he drops. 1t
Is so small coin that you have to take off
your glove to take hold of it in your pocket,
and yet it is so large when the baby swal-
lows it the chances of the baby's living are
sometimes not worth cent. Although l
cent is less than 10 cents, yet cent is
great deal larger than dime. Many
man has gone thirsty all day with cents
IN his pocket. For the want of that /
cent the 4 were as useless as the eleven
men on the jury who are held out against
by one.-Dry Goods Chronicle

PAsTEUR's SYSTEM AT V1ENNA.-Some
results of NJ. Pasteurs system of vaccina-
ton for hydrophobia have been published
by a Vienna medical journal. In the
course of one year 122 persons who were
bitten We're vaccinated within ten days.
Out of this number only three have died.
In l04 out of the 122 cases vaccination
took place six months ago, so that reaction
need not be feared. DR.. Ullmann, who
has conducted the experiments, has been
in constant correspondence with all his pa
tients, and has learned in several cases
that persons who were bitten at the same
time as those vaccinated, but underwent
no treatment. have since died.

VARYING HIGHT OF SEAs.-The surface
OF the Mediterranean has been found by
accurate measurement to lie little below
that Of the ocean, it resembling somewhat
shallow funnel with greatest depth coin
chilng with the region where the water is
most salt. Variations in the apparent
hight Of the shores are now thought to be
due to changes in the level of the water,
especially marked near the apex of the fun
mel, where the recorded changes in the
coast-llne reach twenty to twenty-three
feet. Recent observers also attribute the
supposed oscillations in the shores of the
Baltic and Black seas to changes in the
volume of water caused by varying rainfall
and outflow.

METAL NECKTIEs-Scarfs and neck
ties of metal are new German invention.
Gold, platinum and silver strips are
welded, after the mosaic style, upon a
metal ground, prepared by the incandescent
process, then compressed by means of
powerful presses, and finally elongated by
rolling into long sheets or strips. The
eolors are yellow, red, green, white, gray
and black, and the scarfs, being fndestruct-
ible, are considered Of practical value.

MED to the companies. For instance, as
shown in Senator Stanford's answer above
mentioned tie compensation allowed by
the Postotfice Department to these compa-
MES has been fixed at the same rates al
lowed to roads constructed at little cost
through populous districts, furnishing an
abundance of local traffic to sustain the
roads and make them remunerative In
deed, the whole course of the recent deal
ings of the Government with these compa-
mics has been, in its results, as hostile and
injurious to the compar les as if it had de-
liberately intended to cripple them in their
resources and to render it impossible for
them to discharge their debt
Under wise and just policy, not to say
generous policy, allowing to these COM
panies the full command Of their resources,
and Withholding from them only the cost
of Government transportation, and requir-
ing to pay in only five per cent. of their net
earnings, and allowing them also reasona-
Bile compensation for their services to the
Government, it is easy to see what vast
difference it would have made in the finan-
cial affairs of the companies. 1t is easy to
see, too, how rapidly the subsidy bonds
would have been paid off. When the Act
of 1862 was passed it was estimated that the
average cost of Government transportation
at existing rates was $7,5000 GOO, and that
it would continue so. In fact it would
have been far beyond that. 1t is shown in
Mr.. Miller's report to Senator Stanford
that for the sixteen years ending January
l, 1856, the Government transportation
over the Central and Union Pacific lines at
the rates which prevailed before the rail.
road was built, would have cost more than
S160,000,000, or more than $4,000, 900 a
year. If the rates allowed the companies
had been reasonable and just, in view of
all the circumstances, it certainly would
have aggregated very considerable part
of this sum. As matter of fact, however,
the aggregate compensation allowed to the
companies fer this service has been, for the
last sixteen years, about $21, 500 900, or
about 81 900 per annum, as appears
from Mr.. Miller's tables.
Leaving out OF view, however, the fact
that the companies might have paid their
debt in full IL fairly treated, it is unde-
niable that the equities in their favor grow
ing out of the savings which they have
effected to the Government by their serv-
ices, and the ungena Gus, not to say unjust,
treatment with which their services have
been requitsd, entitle l,lem TO cancel
